Alcohol-Related Injuries Caused By Excessive College Drinking
The study examined the "dose-response" effect of quantities and frequencies, and estimated that more than 500,000 college students suffered alcohol-related injuries in 2001.
"In the United States, most - as in 70 percent - of college students have consumed alcohol in the past 30 days, and 40 percent of students have engaged in heavy drinking in the past two weeks," said Marlon P. Mundt, corresponding author for the study.
He added: "More than 1,700 U.S. college students aged 18-24 died from alcohol-related injuries in 2001. Approximately 2.8 million U.S. college students drove under the influence of alcohol in the past 12 months, and 600,000 U.S. college students were hit or assaulted by a student who was under the influence of alcohol."
The study examined the combined "dose-response" effects of drinking quantities and frequencies on college alcohol-related injury risk.
Initially, the researchers surveyed 12,900 college students seeking routine care in five college health clinics on alcohol use and other health risk behaviours.
